How Towns Are Built.

Before cooking your rabbit you
must catch him. A town that ex-
poets to prosper in this country
must so spread it's nets as to catch
live men-energetic men, progress
i've men. A town with any natural
advantages at all will succeed if its
citizens are energetic and enterpris-
ing. For community of live men
will not sit down and whittle white
pine and allow the town and its in
ests to stand still! A town must
have natural advantages-but it
might have all the advantages in the
world and yet not prosper if it's citi-
zens are so constituted as to be will
ling to look after only their own in
dividual affairs.
Wichita, Kansas town, is an ex-
ample of what can be accomplished
by the energy, the enterprise and the
united public spirit of its citizens.
Wichita has grown in year or two
from comparatively insignificant
little town to great trade and rail
road center. There has been an in
crease of over 1000 per cent in the
. value of real estate and an increas,
of over 10000 in population. Lot:

So it will be seen that President

let him go west and south and see
what the country and people look

whatever their politics may be, wan
to see and hear the first official O

to see his beautiful young wife, tn

BOLD OUTLAWS.
DesperadOes in Holt County, Missouri
Create a Sensation.

Forest City, Mo-, July 29.-Three
outlaws who had been playing their
arts in the vicinity Of Craig for some
days, were followed by Deputy
Sheriff Frame to the Nodaway river,
crossing near Nodaway station, yes
terday, and were placed easily under
arrest and, as was supposed, dis .
armed.
By dexterous move the men OBJ
tanned some weapons and hand to
hand fight followed for several rounds
with the deputy sheriff, whoreceived
four shots, which passed through
his coat about his vest, one scraping
the flesh from his back. Being alone
with three desperadoes, he then
made a retreat, when the thieves
took to their horses and fed.
The men were next discovered
near Corning to-day and followed
closely up the bottom to near Phelps
where 100 armed citizens surrounded
them and captured the youngest
member, but not until Anthony De-
Long and Will Bostwick, constables
of Craig, were shot down, the former
through the head and the latter the
shoulder. DeLong will probably
die.
Armed recruits are pouring in
from all directions, and if the two
men, who are desperate and armed
to the teeth with five Winchesters,
are captured alive there will be quick
work made of them.
The men are we'll furnished with
ammunition and execute shots moi
excelled by any former outlaws
They are all bad men to take and
declare they will not be taken alive
but as scores of farmers and citizens
are pouring in armed with shot guns
rifles and muskets it is foregon'
conclusion that they will be taken b,
daylight if not sooner, dead if no
} alive.

Regularity Of Habits.

Speaking of regularity of habits,
a wen-known Nashville lawyer said
to-day that he was reminded of
certain chancellor in the good old
days who prided himself as model,
SO far as regularity of habits was
concerned. One day in the chanoel-
lor's court a very important land
case was being heard An old man
named Elm took the stand, and the
exactnsss with which he testified to
the boundary lines and other details
of the case excited the chancellor's
attention. After Elm had concluded
his story the chancellor took him
through an examination. Mr.. Elm
gave his age at "a years, said he
never used tobacco or intoxicants in
any form, went to bed at sundown
and rose at sunrise, ate his meals
regularly and was, upon the whole,
a very correct man in his habits of
life, to which he attributed his great
vitality.
Concluding the examination the
chancellor said to the gentlemen of
the bar: ''You see how regularity in
habits of life preserve a man. You
should remember this as a lesson"
The next witness was also named
Elm, and he, as we'll as the former.
showed remarkable degree of vi
tality and power of mind. He told
with detail what he knew of the case
at issue. The chancellor finally
said:
''Mr. Elm, you seem to be a well
preserved man. How old are yous'
Il am 81 years of age, and an
elder brother of the man who has
Just testified
''Have you been regular in YOU

do you ever use Intoxicating

"Well, l never go to bed sober"
what time do you retire."
That depends altogether upol
the convenience of the occasion
sometimes early and sometimes late
do you use tobacco?"
Il have been chewing and smokin,
for forty years, and could not d
without either"
By this time the lawyers wer

An English Girls Untiring Work.

London, July 2s.-The release of
George Bidwell, the bank of England
forger, who in 1872 was sentenced
to Imprisonment for life, was effected
through the untiring efforts of a
devoted sister, who spent seven
years in trying to obtain her brothers
liberty. So various were the means
employed and SO persistent her en-
deavors that she became. almost an
incubus to every official whose action
or influence could have any possible
effect in the direction of consum-
mating her purpose. How she finally
accomplished her object nobody ap,
pears to know. and the police officials
declare that they are entirely in the
dark as to the secret of her success
but all agree that the discharge was
brought about solely through he
efforts, and that her self-sacrifcins
devotion to her brother has no paral
lei in the records or tradition o
English prisons or police depart
i ments.

the newspaper advertising did
double duty. Our people made it
rule to ask Mi their friends to adver-
tise.
We then subscribed for a large
number OF copies. loaded with local
advertising and great advantages,
and We found by conversing with
parties who finally came here pros
pecting that the full advertising
columns of our pap&is which they
had seen did more than all else to
impress them with the growth and
Importance Of the place.
We found that we could not over
do this thing-that the more we
paid ont for these purposes the
more were our profits. Every new
conner was q customer to our stores,
and while their advertising paid to
them rich returns, it served the
double purpose toimpress the eastern
man who had an eye to business with
the fact that Wichita was rising

have added population since I came
here of 10000, and property has in

know as well as you can know
that printers ink is the best capital
to boom a town. Had we not used
it unsparingly Wichita would not
have been larger than Carthage. As
it is, we will soon outrank any town
in the state"
This is characteristic; there is a
familiar twang that reminds us of
home, sweet home, as it were. In
other words, the Wichita man talks
like an Atlanta man, and the wonder
full growth of the Kansas town is
paralleled by the extraordinary
growth of Atlanta during the past
fifteen years.
The moral of this is obvious

wall A specimen OF every kind of work
done during The term was placed upon
paper blackboards aud hung upon the
walls Of the room. Perhaps the protest
display in the grade was the literary de
partment. Pictures of Lonefellow
Whittier and Bryant were suspended from
the ceiling, and around them hung
the golden thoughts of each poet. We
cannot speak too highly of the literary
work. The examination papers showed
for the majority of the pupils of the
grade every step in their work for two
years. Professor G. S. Barnett, a
thorough normal teacher, has had charge
OF this grade for two years, and the
people are loud in their praise of the
work Of both teachers and pupils.
In the fourth grade was seen many
well executed maps. Arithmetic prob
lens and diagrams were tastefully ar
ranged on the blackboards. This grade
was taught by Miss Jennie Hensly.
Outside of the examination papers
were shown both study and recitation
work. In the study work were outlines
in primary geography beginning with the
first of the book and extending through
the middle states, the outlines of North

different regions; this was done by glu-
ing seeds and minerals in their respec-
tive localities. Besides their simple
outlines in natural history, collections

were shown also the different fabrics

The people Of Weatherford boast of

with two ward buildings st cost of

very likely the success of the term just

that superintendent Woodward had The
